Background: I have typically done the BRRR method.

This is the simplest method, but it also means your tenants are more likely to abuse the utilities by leaving windows open with the heat or A/C running, leaving lights on, ignoring the toilet that constantly flushes on its own, etc.3.

You are blending 2 income methods.

Another method I gain unlisted leads is by talking to the neighbors of every house I rehab.

Im building in an area where new con has avg 14 DOM - specs that sell before the slab is dry,  Wilmington Nc area (beaches) where it then buyer eventually wants some things changed.

After 2017 the market had dried up and we had to go into more extensive projects, typically big basement issues or mold or both.

The builder dried with fans and made sure there was no moisture.

I have had more success in finding off market properties from people who know me than any other method.

Ultimately, it depends what your goals are on which method will fit best for your situation.  

I’m interested in using private money to get started and continue using the BRRRR method as I love value add and I’m able to do a lot of the work myself.
